Is Dark Karo is NO GOOD for LC??!!!
    #6782833 - 04/13/07 11:47 AM (16 years, 11 months ago)

Before I use it.
I seem to remember reading somewhere, sometime, that it was to be avoided, am I just crazy or did I really read this.
Please, someone, with some Knowledge on the subject let me know.
I don't drive, I live out in the country, and dark is all I have available, so if someone knows any viable reason that I should not use it tell me before I FUCK UP!!

I've been perusing the archives and have found nothing of any value to me...in this respect, at least.

Thanks in advance,
-P.M.-

The two types of Karo syrup really only differ in color. There are a few ingredients added to make the Dark Karo darker, such as the addition of caramel coloring, but they are almost identical in nutrient content. The Dark Karo does have about 10mg more of sodium, but nothing to get in a pinch about.

The main reason you should not be using Dark Karo syrup is because you will have a difficult time identifying contaminates and gaging mycelia growth. Use a lighter syrup for easier viewing.

P.S. If all you have is Dark Karo syrup, you could try diluting down to say 2% instead of the recommended 4. Might keep things a little more visible.

But in what I've read, there's such a small amnt. of syrup used that it seems almost ludicrous that it could darken the water enough to really impede viewing.

Thanks,

But on another note, you are speaking of %'s, would that be 98:2 water to Karo?

I think I have found my conclusion;

WEST COAST PALE ALE Mr. BEER Beer mix

I happened upon some links talking about using malt dextrose this and barley whatnot that, then I realized that I have a Mr. Beer beer maker w/beer mix.

I suck at making my own beer, but I've done decent with the shrooms, and it seems that the mix has all I need to make a LC.

ingredients are as such:
1.) 100% Malted Two Row Barley
2.) Hops
3.) Water

Looks like I got a winner!!

Any objections??
Please tell me if I'm way off.

-P.M.-
